An analytical method based on high-resolution quadrupole–time-of-flight (QToF) mass spectrometry has been developed as an alternative to the classical method, using a low-resolution ion trap (IT) analyzer to reduce ...

The presence of fungicide and insecticide residues in wine has been largely investigated. However, few studies have addressed the persistence of these compounds in vineyard soils. In this research, we investigate the ...

A new analytical method for the determination of 22 perfluoroalkylated (carboxylic and sulfonic) acids in water samples is presented. The method's objective was to achieve the simultaneous quantification of compounds with ...

This work studies the chlorination and monochloramination reaction kinetics of two phenazone-type drugs (phenazone – Phe and propyphenazone – PrPhe) and three metabolites of phenazone-type drugs (4-formylaminoantipyrine – ...

The suitability of supercritical fluid chromatography, coupled to accurate mass spectrometry (SFC-MS), for the determination of seven commercial neonicotinoid pesticides and one transformation product in wine samples has ...

The comprehensive identification of organic species existing in indoor environments is a key issue to understand their impact in human health. This study proposes the analysis of condensed water samples, collected with ...

The coexistence of the anilinopyrimidine fungicides pyrimethanil (PYR) and cyprodinil (CYP), and suspected metabolites in wine samples was investigated by liquid chromatography (LC) with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), ...

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has become a very useful tool to monitor a population's drug consumption or exposure to environmental and food contaminants. In this work, WBE has been applied to estimate tobacco ...

Phthalates are widely used plasticizers that produce endocrine-disrupting disorders. Quantifying exposure is crucial to perform risk assessments and to develop proper health measures. Herein, a wastewater-based epidemiology ...
